Why is recognizing cause and effect text structure important?

Slide 6 - Open vraag

Read the following text
Because a hurricane can be hundreds of kilometers across, people in the area begin to feel the effects hours before it reaches land. The winds arrive first, bringing lots of rain. Strong winds blow roofs off buildings and knock down trees and power lines. The storm surge --- a rise in sea level caused by hurricanes --- is responsible for most hurricane related deaths. The storm surge can cause sudden flooding and can even harm habitats where fish breed.

Text 1 - Illnesses are caused by germs not temperature
Many people think that they can get sick by going into cold weather improperly dressed; however, illnesses are not caused by temperature- they are caused by germs. So, while shivering outside in the cold probably won’t strengthen your immune system, you’re more likely to contract an illness indoors because you will have a greater exposure to germs.

Text 2 - Reasons why you can't chew gum in class
Students are not allowed to chew gum in my class. While some students think that I am just being mean, there are many good reasons for this rule. First, some irresponsible students make messes with their gum. They may leave it on the bottoms of desks, drop it on the floor, or put it on other people’s property. Another reason why I don’t allow students to chew gum is because it is a distraction. When they are allowed to chew gum, students are more worried about having it, popping it, chewing it, and snapping it than they are in listening, writing, reading, and learning. This is why I don’t allow students to chew gum in my class.
